Chapter 36: The Great Sweet (2/8)
"I'll tell you!"
Shen Mengxi walked over, Qin Hailu and Wang Qianyuan, including director Zhang Meng, nodded at him...
In other words, "The Piano of Steel" was established, filmed, and released, and Mingxi Company contributed a lot!
That's right, this movie is hanging under Mingxi.
The standard for Mingxi project approval: projects below 10 million...
Low-cost horror films, low-cost literary films, low-cost comedies...
Of course, there are also online short dramas, "Waste Material Brothers", "Domestic Heroes", "Dream and Reality", "Seven Brothers of Muskmelon" in preparation...
In the future, it may be ready to take the route of big online movies.
"This movie is one of the rare comedies with depth, and I like it a lot... But I like it, the audience who doesn't see it will like it, and our internal goal for "Piano of Steel" is to be released, and as for the box office, in fact, we have already made enough profits through overseas sales. ”
"Why invest in this film?"
"I just think it's such a good book.,I can't shoot it because I don't have money.,It's a pity..."
Why can't "Piano of Steel" be a big hit?
Why don't you want to spend more money on publicity?
Film promotion and distribution is to pursue the best input-output cost-effective!
A professional distributor, in the face of a movie, takes into account the overall factors: director, star, schedule, production scale, type, target audience, competitors, publicity scale, resource integration, after taking these factors into account, what is your market target for "Piano of Steel"?
Five million cost, no big stars, not even stars - Qin Hailu at that time was called the ugliest actress...
Pull a few celebrities to blow a few words on Weibo to boost the box office?
At most, raise awareness...
However, there are only two things to consider in the theater scheduling: the number of performances and the attendance rate.
On the first day of "Piano of Steel", the theater gave 10% of the film schedule!
It's already very face-saving, you must know that the schedule of "The Chronicles of Narnia 3: Dawn Treader" is only 4%...
Box office...
It's actually not bad, it won a box office score of 9 million in the first weekend...
According to Maoyan's expectations, the final box office is likely to reach about 30 million!
......
In the private dining room, in the private room, Shen Mengxi, Zhao Jinsong and Liu Yifei sat quietly, waiting for others...
Zhao Jinsong suddenly spoke: ""The Piano of Steel" has a good reputation, but unfortunately, the box office is far from reaching the level of word of mouth!"
Shen Mengxi replied casually: "Its positioning has never been a commercial film, and commercial films do not exist..."
"But it's still a bit of a pity..."
"The box office of nearly 9 million in the first weekend has already made a lot of money, let's see the opening point..."
Liu Yifei, who was sitting on Weibo on the side, suddenly said: ""The Piano of Steel", I thought it was about Lang Lang's experience at first..."
"How do you have that thought?"
"Piano, Northeast... Is it hard to associate with each other?"
Shen Mengxi was very remorseful: "How did I think of it... It should rub a wave of Lang Lang's heat!"
"It's... How?"
"Invite him to play the theme song..."
Zhao Jinsong was speechless: "Do you know what he is worth?"
"No, it's a good movie, how can an artist like Lang Lang collect money?"
“...”
White prostitution?
Why are you so beautiful?
Shen Mengxi suddenly thought of something, and glanced at Liu Yifei: "You shouldn't still hold a grudge now, right?"
The young lady asked, "What?"
"It's just a rumor, you're chasing Lang Lang..."
"Am I that stingy?"
You're so stingy!
Lang Lang's father, who was directly scared, couldn't get off the stage...
At this time, someone knocked on the door, the staff pushed the door open, and then Jing Tian and her agent walked in.
“... It's coming!"
Shen Mengxi got up and beckoned them to sit down, and the staff helped pour tea, and then walked out of the box...
......
That's right, Shen Mengxi came to the pit for a big sweet...
It can't be considered a pit either!
Ask for each other, give to each other...
You see, with Shen Mengxi disrupting the course of history, Da Tiantian didn't act in "My Beautiful Boss" and "Warring States", and not so many people hated her...
On the contrary, there are many more fans.
Moreover, Starlight participated in several investments in Shen Mengxi, and they all made money!
As for "Dragon Ball" and "Spy Sea"...
To figure it out, these two films are big productions, and the cast is strong, which can be called a flying dragon riding face...
The flying dragon rode the face and lost, who can blame it?
Do you blame God for bad luck?
Zhao Jinsong is responsible for introducing the details: ""The Great Wall", we found Henry Cavill, who is the male number one in "Moving Labyrinth", I heard that he is in contact with Zack Snyder, and it is possible to participate in the filming of "Superman", not surprisingly, our film should be released in 2013, just to borrow a wave of new Superman fame..."
"And his salary is not high, 6 million dollars will be done!"
"Our production department has calculated an account, and the total investment will not exceed 120 million US dollars, and Universal and Bren House in the United States will participate in the investment..."
Shen Mengxi and Liu Yifei chatted with Da Tiantian...
Da Tiantian starred in "Wolverine 2", playing Xue Xu, which has little to do with Shen Mengxi, it is people's money ability that plays a role...
"You play this role well, Marvel is doing the cinematic universe, and Fox should also create its own Marvel cinematic universe around mutants..."
"Cinematic Universe?"
"It's a worldview, and multiple individual films are made under this worldview..."
"Well, I see..."
Over there, Zhao Jinsong said the key: "If you are interested in investing, our crew is ready to start preparations in March, and filming should officially start in July!"
Da Tiantian's agent is not a fool, and asked directly: "I have a question, why don't you find Liu Yifei to star?"
Because she didn't bring her own investment...
Zhao Jinsong is preparing to make up a reason.
"She doesn't have enough time!"
Shen Mengxi rushed to answer, and added by the way: "This role needs to be trained for half a year in advance, and the official shooting will take at least four months, and if you want to make up the shooting in the later stage, it will take another two months... After all, this is the first time we have made such a large-scale production, and we have to experiment with a lot of things... The actors need to cooperate with the crew..."
"I see..."
Shen Mengxi is not nonsense, it is indeed very difficult, and several protagonists need to receive relevant training in advance.
If Liu Yifei comes to act, it's not cost-effective...
The agent nodded, and then said, "Wanda is ready to enter the film industry, do you know?"
Zhao Jinsong was still surprised, Shen Mengxi pouted: "I know, they must make a movie, just making a theater is too cost-effective!"
"What if they want to join the project too?"
"Of course I welcome it, provided that you can't interfere with the progress of the project or the creation of the crew..."
"Okay, I'll go back and talk to them and see their attitude..."
Zhao Jinsong hurriedly said: "We are filming in Mengxi, no matter how big the project is, every point of production funds has a detailed record of the cashier, cooperate with us, don't worry about where the funds go..."
"I know this very well," the agent looked at Zhao Jinsong and smiled: "I heard that several companies have scolded you for breaking the rules!"
